Update...

Kimball is out of surgery and is doing good!

Let me first give the Doctor Details... They found massive vasculitis. All major native cells are clogged, this is where all his pain is coming from. But the vessels they harvested 3 years ago during his quintuple by pass, 3 of those have excellent blood flow. So that is fairly good news. The bad news is, they couldn't do anything for him today.

The good news is they do not feel the condition of his heart at this time puts him at risk for another heart attack. The docs will have him on Nitro for his vessels and pain management. They suggested doing another Angiogram down the road. Kimball still has pneumonia, his lungs are still full but not getting worse - that is very good!

We will work on getting him healthy to preach his last sermon at First Baptist on September 30th. He then retires and will move down to Southern Oregon to be with us and the rest of the family. He will likely continue on in ministry. That is his passion - he could never retire from doing the work of the Lord! I guess the Lord has much more work to do through Kimball - for that we are so incredibly grateful; for us personally and for the Kingdom!

We are also grateful to all of you for your prayers and concern! You know how I feel about you all, or "y'all", beings most of you are Southern Gals! I wish I could personally thank each of you for your outpouring of prayer and concern...I love you all!

Psalm 33: 20-22 "We put our hope in the Lord. He is our help and our shield. In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone." Praise the Lord!
